  • In our mouse model, systemic administration of anti-OC-STAMP-mAb suppressed the expression of CD9 mRNA , but not DC-STAMP mRNA , in periodontal tissue , along with diminished alveolar bone loss and reduced emergence of CD9+ OCps and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase -positive multinuclear OCs.

  • Tissue will require ashing, digestion with acid, or even fusion with alkali to free the fluoride from its matrix. (cdc.gov)
  • We used RNA-Seq to investigate samples diagnosed as small round cell tumors of bone, possibly Ewing sarcoma, but lacking the canonical EWSR1-ETS translocation. (refine.bio)

  • Removing excess bone reduces joint stiffness and pain. (lu.se)
  • The bone is replaced with a piece of tendon from the wrist or a prosthesis made out of silicone to maintain stability and mobility in the thumbs basal joint. (lu.se)
  • An arthrodesis (joint fusion) may also be performed but is not preferred as it significantly affects the mobility of the thumb. (lu.se)
  • To bring back the "Fusion" from the archives, Karhu reworked the model with its original designer and launched it as the Fusion 2.0. (urbanexcess.com)
  • In M-LIF, there were no significant differences in bone fusion score between WT- and BP-treated patients. (physiciansweekly.com)

  • Group 1 comprised 39 patients treated with the novel MIS bone graft delivery device. (biomedcentral.com)
  • After a 3-month follow-up, 39.5% of the patients in the MIS device group and 3.5% of the patients in the conventional group were observed to achieve grade I fusion (complete fusion). (biomedcentral.com)
